Summer is in full swing, so there’s no excuse to not be out there taking photos.

If you’ve got travel images to share, consider joining our other readers on the canada.com Travel group on Flickr. Even if you don’t take photos, it’s worth it to check out the group to see the talented people who contribute to it.

Each week we highlight our favourites right here on canada.com. We’d feature more, but some people restrict the sharing options on their photos. It’s okay if you do that, but if you want us to highlight your photos here, be sure to set your Flickr sharing options to allow it.

Flickr changed its membership rules so you can no longer sign on with third-party accounts, such as Facebook or Google. You now have to have a Yahoo account to sign up. If you’re reluctant to set up yet another user account, consider this, Flickr give users one free terabyte of storage for their photos. That’s hard to beat.

If you like taking photos with your mobile phone, Flickr’s iPhone app is excellent and they have equally good apps for Android and Windows phones. They were also just redesigned so they are better than ever. You can even have them automatically back up all of your photos to Flickr’s huge amount of storage space Check them out.
